Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and layer the apple pie filling on top.
  6. Follow with the remaining batter, spreading it gently over the apple filling.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
